HAVANA TIMES – All year, Cuban women have been complaining that they have not been able find sanitary pads in the country’s stores. The government finally issued an official explanation last Thursday: The Mathisa factory in Sancti Spiritus, the country’s sole supplier, had to halt production in January due to a lack of raw materials and did not have the money to buy more.

The company’s director, Angel Pozo Gonzalez, told the provincial newspaper Escambray that further production now hinges on a shipment of polyethylene, which is not expected to arrive until July, and warned that the product will remain in short supply at the nation’s pharmacies. Women with US dollars can still by the product on the illicit market, the rest must improvise.

One of my favorite parts of being an FOH is following the "No US politics" rule. That said, I don't care what side of the aisle you stand on, that's just wrong! If they put that out as a headline in Women's Journal the embargo would likely be over by week's end.😐
